The beginning of every year is always marked by a drop in the number of food baskets delivered to the families registered with our ONG. This is a time when some volunteers go on vacation and even the donations don't arrive in the quantity needed. The numbers have improved since February, but we still have a lot of work to do if we are to achieve our goals of providing more regular assistance to the families who are waiting for our support.
Despite this situation, we managed to offer 40 food baskets to 40 families from January to March. The number of people assisted reached 136, including adults and children. These are families who have been able to feel some material relief from the donations we have received and which have been extended with resources such as the one we have obtained with your help.
During this period, we also distributed some items that went beyond the 20 items in our traditional basket. Fruit, vegetables, chocolate, sweets and juices were added to the baskets, which also included more personal hygiene items such as creams, shampoo, toothpaste and soaps. What we receive is immediately distributed, because hunger doesn't wait.
Wuênia's family is an example of the families that receive regular assistance. She, her husband and children receive visits and are accompanied by those responsible people for our registries.
Our task continues. Even in adversity, we continue to trust that the work done so far can encourage many people like you to become partners with Centro Espirita Amor e Fe in reducing the number of people who feel hunger approaching. Our desire is to offer our best to everyone!
